I'm a little disappointed they're CW3D style (not surprised of course, just was hoping for realistic). I'll be happy to see ARC Troopers make an appearance in the toon though. They're overdue by a long time.

Yeah, that does look pretty sweet - and I look forward to seeing them on the toon. The original ARCs on the prior (Tartakovsky) Clone Wars series were one of my favorite parts of that show.

I've always viewed the armor as somewhat modular... Attachments are available, the Phase I can be modified to be partially Phase 2 or 3... Especially for Special Forces, more than other regular Clones who wouldn't necessarilly have all the access to things that Spec. Forces ones do.

I'm cool with it and I like the sort of evolution they're showing too.

What's Neyo's helmet supposed to be then, if PHase 1 is AOTC style, and Phase 2 is ROTS style?

Neyo's is way out there... Then there's the Marine's uniforms. The "Scout" armor from Kashyyyk...

I think the armor's a constantly evolving thing in the war, ultimately. New stuff developed for new reasons. Some legions in the outer rim could be fighting up till the end in the Phase 1 simply because they don't get resupplied as fast or often. You never know, ya know?

The weirdest thing, to me anyway, was how fast they dropped the color-coding for rank. That went out the window lickity split and they've never really explained how rank's identified. I've always assumed it's something that can be seen via the helmet only then, replacing rank because maybe droids are taught to pick off the colored armor first if possible. Very odd though how that went by the wayside fast.

I always thought of that stuff as specialist armor. There is a standard Phase 2 armor, and other accessories are added as needed. In some cases, totally different armor is used. Similar to how the Clone Pilots, ARC/ARF Troopers, and Scuba Clones all fall under the Phase 1 umbrella, yet not all of them utilize the Phase 1 armor.

Anyway, I received the Anti-Hailfire Droid Battle Pack today. The Clone Commander in that set has me even more excited about the opportunity to get four awesome ARCs that will probably use the same sculpt and accessories. The new Fordo-style pistols are great.

I'm all for specialization/customization, but it's getting to a point where a lot of new guys like the flamethrower trooper look nothing like a clone trooper at all, in color or design.

There's meant to be a core iconic look for the Republic Army, and you can't tell me that the average Joe on the street (in-universe or out of, for that matter) would know that that's supposed to be a clone trooper without being told.
